    Sorry for your BSOD but that's not the device's problem, has nothing to do with USB or Firewire. Linux and Macintosh do not have ANY issue with hot swapping firewire. If a firewire device is writing to your memory when you unplug it is there anything the OS can do?

    So criminals deserve to die?
    funny because the MAFIAA keep calling people like us criminals, should they just come round and shoot us?
    but people 'defending their right to injest substances', they're not worth human beings and should die?

    No the gun says "I have the power to kill" sometimes this threat of power is used to protect, but the gun is there for the killing.

    You dont need a gun to deal with a crazy bull just some brains. When im over at the ranch/large farm (im not quite sure what the difference is tbh) in Spain since about 13 i've help my uncles move cattle/sheep/pigs/bulls that had got out of their enclosures, and they've never had a weapon (well apart from when we/they went deer hunting, but that's a different story).

    According to thermodynamics, some energy will be irretrievable between steps 1 and 2 in the real world. Thus, this reaction is not sustainable. With no specifics how can you be sure? There are plenty of ways to transport pure hydrogen without loosing any energy. which of the 4 laws should i look up btw & in which form? i really dont see how any of them apply to an unspecified movement of pure hydrogen from one container to another.

    'Burn' ~ 'Combustion': You can't 'burn' oxygen, oxygen is an oxidation agent that you use to burn something else (a fuel). In this case, the fuel is hydrogen (ie your reaction #2). even if it is only hydrogen then its hydrogen from the air meaning you get (286KJ - inefficiency/mol) for every mol of starting water.

    I think you overestimate the size of the Royal Family's assets. Is what amounts to uprooting the foundation of the country worth a fiver's reduction in your tax burden (just think, you could buy yourself a newspaper and a burger with that!)? A whole fiver? then defiantly. TBH i dont expect more than a few pence, at which point itll cost so much to have an enquiry into it that its not worth it, but otherwise its a win/win, no more royalty and 2p to spend on slashdot

    DO any poll thats not just in the mail/sun and it will be something like 20% get rid, 10% keep, 70% dont give a shit.

    Given that shes not even the one who chooses who to give the awards to its not really an issue here. I personally would like to get rid of her, but there is some benefit to separating out your purely political honours to those given by 'the country' and while not perfect (i mean you can buy either apparently), it does In theory stop gordon or tony knighting all his mates.

    Still if it were up to me the government should sack all the monarchy, reposes anything that they can use to make the country some money, then use it to cut our taxes, shame I dont trust any government to do that.

    Water = H2O
    Oxygen = O2
    Hydrogen = H

    2 x H2O --(magic)--> 4 x H + O2
    (4 x H) + O2 --(combustion)--> 2 x H20 + excess energy

    Couldnt it be as simple as
    H2O ---catalyst--> 2H + 1/2 O2 286KJ/mol
    2H + O2(from air) --> H2O 286kJ/mol
    burn 1/2 O2(from 1st reacion) ---> xO (not sure what O would burn to in air) xKJ/mol

    aslong x > energy lost inside the system you get some "free energy"
